What was the resolution to the whole thing besides stopping the Synthroid?

My endocrinologist took me off synthroid completely, saying I could not take the risk and promised me in eight days I would level off, which I did. When I would have what I thought was a panic attack/anxiety, my heart would race and pound, dizziness, sweat profusely, it was terrifying, in fact I was almost agoraphobic, only in that I wouldn’t leave the house alone, (I was fine with my husband). So the doc told me I would be fine without the medication but would have periods where I would be tired and a sense of depression which he said it was only a symptom. He assured me it was NOT depression, I could live with that, but not the hyper part. I saw him every six months for years. Just a great doctor and man, as well as the psychologist I went to who referred me, knowing this was physical rather than mental. To this day, I know when my thyroid is producing hormone and when it isn’t, it phases up and down……the doc told me to enjoy the roller coaster ride. LOL
